Football: Premier League 2009 Relegation Betting
What a weekend of racing! Admittedly the only Kentucky Derby challenger that we fully wrote off was 100/1 Mine That Bird, but we did tip you the 2000 Guineas winner Sea The Stars, albeit in the wrong market.
Let’s just hope that John Oxx takes his chance in the Irish 2000 Guineas before he wins the Derby, because 20/1 will be a very attractive price indeed.
In the 1000 Guineas, Rainbow View was a massive dissapointment but we tipped the second, 12/1 Cuis Ghaire. Perhaps our lovely picture of Richard Hills persuaded you to get on 20/1 Ghanaati.
The ‘Big Four’ all won this weekend for the fourth time in a row, but the accumulator still paid out a generous 6/1 with Victor Chandler.
Liverpool obliged against Newcastle (3-0) to maintain the pressure on Manchester United, but they can still be backed at 9/1 with Sky Bet for the title.
The relegation betting looks a lot tighter, but even 1/100 West Brom still have an outside chance at survival if they win their remaining fixtures.
Before Hull take on Aston Villa tonight, the bottom end of the table looks like this:
| 15 | Blackburn | 35 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 20 | 23 | 4 | 4 | 10 | 18 | 35 | -20 | 37 |
| 16 | Sunderland | 35 | 6 | 3 | 9 | 19 | 22 | 3 | 5 | 9 | 12 | 26 | -17 | 35 |
| 17 | Hull | 34 | 3 | 5 | 9 | 17 | 33 | 5 | 5 | 7 | 20 | 26 | -22 | 34 |

| 18 | Newcastle | 35 | 4 | 7 | 6 | 21 | 27 | 2 | 6 | 10 | 16 | 29 | -19 | 31 |
| 19 | Middlesbrough | 35 | 5 | 8 | 5 | 16 | 19 | 2 | 2 | 13 | 9 | 32 | -26 | 31 |
| 20 | West Brom | 35 | 6 | 3 | 8 | 23 | 30 | 1 | 4 | 13 | 10 | 34 | -31 | 28 |
Middlesbrough can be backed at 1/4, but are far from certainties. They have been in woeful form, and haven’t scored in the last three games. Having said that, a victory against Newcastle on May 11 would be a great help for Gareth Southgate‘s side. Their other two fixtures are perfectly winnable.
The bookies also expect to see Alan Shearer‘s Newcastle get sent down a division at 1/2. The Magpies lack confidence and Joey Barton’s red card comes just at the wrong time. His season must surely be over. They have only scored once in the last five games.
Blackburn look safe at 33/1, but I think that 15/8 Hull City could soon find themselves in deep trouble.
Hull have lost their last three and finish at home to Man U at the end of the season. They should lose at Villa Park tonight (4/7) and have a shocking record away to Bolton.
To their credit they did very well to stay up in the Championship two seasons ago.
10/3 Sunderland have tricky fixtures, but have the bonus of a four point cushion.
Fulham are 9/4 favourites to grab the last available European spot.
